IS HE AN ISLAMOPHOBE TOO?

Phil Edwards, with whom I've disagreed on protest voting, asks some salient questions of Islamophobia Watch (on whom I've posted here) in a long post that's worth reading in full here:
Is it "Islamophobic" to criticise anti-gay statements made by a Muslim cleric?

Is it "Islamophobic" to ask someone advocating a woman's right to wear the hijab whether their position is based on the liberal principle that women should be able to dress how they like, or on the conservative principle that all Muslim women should wear the hijab?
